Geez, Steven, do your eyes ever get sore from picking at these

How is pointing us to the specific document where we can read the
controller's view picking nits?

Because whether or not the AIM "imposes requirements" or merely
describes requirements imposed by some other document or whatever is
irrelevant to the point I was making, namely, that the section in
question is talking about ATC actions and not pilot actions. (To which
Steven would probably say something along the lines of "The AIM, being
an inanimate object, cannot "talk" about anything.")
